Both Aishwarya Rai and Manju, brand ambassador of the jewellery group, were looking stunning in traditional Indian attire.

Thousands of fans gathered outside the showroom on Sunday at M.G. Road, Thiruvananthapuram, to catch a glimpse of the two gorgeous actresses.

Aishwarya Rai, who arrived in the capital city on Sunday, looked stunning in red anarkali which had embroidered work with vermillion (Sindoor) on her forehead.

The south beauty Manju Warrier arrived two days before the event. Manju arrived at the inaugural ceremony in traditional Malayali style wearing kasavu set and mundu with gold necklace and heavy earnings.

After inaugurating the showroom, both the actress thanked the crowd for their support.

"Thank you for such a warm welcome. I am so glad that I am here today, it's just being overwhelming. Your love, blessings and best wishes for my family means so much to me. And I thank you enough," Aishwarya said during the press conference.

Aishwarya also said that coming back to the place has brought back her memories.

"Coming here to Trivandrum brought back memories. In fact, when I started my journey in the film industry, my first film was with Mani Ratnam. I came on my very first day of shooting here. I landed in Trivandrum," she said.

Aishwarya and Manju have worked together in commercial advertisements for South Indian jewellery giants. The actresses in the commercial talked about the opening of the biggest jewellery showroom in Thiruvananthapuram.
